I dont mind the sub stuff, but enjoy it most when it is happening to someone else. Cant say the brother's or friend's future looks too bright with me at the helm. Never liked a game more than this. 'E.D.' could have been a contender, but it sort of just evaporated. Hope the author doesnt burn out. This game is something special and I doubt its like will come again.

Hi all!
I am doing a public post since it's been a while, and just updating a lot -- some of which will be repeat information for Patrons so I am sorry!
I have attached very non-adult images for Version 0.5 as previews as per Patreon guidelines. (hope they are ok!)
So first, I did pause August billing for my Patrons because I did feel I wasn't going quite fast enough to justify billing a full extra month. I've been there before in terms of being on a site and just feeling a little frustrated at time delays, so I kind of made that decision for the benefit of Patrons. I am legitimately working as best as I can, but this is not my full-time job and my other work really impacts my time. (more on this below)
My business is currently trying to hire a 4th and 5th person due to a very heavy increase in business over the last 2-3 months. It's great in one sense because I'm doing super well now, but bad in a sense that it is impacting my free time. So I did a bunch of interviews over the last roughly 8-10 days, and I think I may hire two people this week. I'm also hiring a personal assistant just for me with personal stuff outside the business for about 15-20 hours a week starting August 10th, so all of this will GREATLY help me stabilize my time better. I feel fortunate I can afford to hire these people to help, as the business started very slowly and is now getting quite lucrative. (my parents were so against me at first for this business idea and wanted me to go to law school instead, but now they are being pretty quiet hee hee!)
I've also kept this under wraps due to an NDA, but I've been helping since about a year ago on a specific "normal" game project (not huge hours, just a little bit here and there for specific dialogue/quests) just doing some quest/dialogue writing/editing here and there in prep for other people doing voice acting, etc. (it's a well known dev studio doing a AAA game that is coming out in Winter 2022) and am helping just here and there informally, but it's sometimes been a drain on me too. Luckily, that has abated for now as they are doing a chunk of voice acting for earlier parts of the game. I will in fact drop this if the demand gets too high, but I really like the project and kind am enjoying it when I can...
Now, as for 0.5. Some key notes: This update will probably have a little more Olivia content than 0.4 given where the story is right now. She is kind of having to make a few key decisions given new information, etc. The size of 0.4 was about 1543 renders, and roughly 7,500 lines of code. As of right now, 0.5 is currently a little over 1200 images, and roughly 5,800 lines of code. I am a little ahead of normal in terms of music (usually do it all last) as I have done some already. Adding music actually adds a lot of lines to the code because of how I space it too, so I feel like I am getting closer to the light at the end of the tunnel.
I believe the ultimate size of 0.5 will be about the same or a little bigger than 0.4. I thought I could keep it smaller, but given the branching involved, I feel like I can't make it too short because a particular path will feel like a very short update. (As a general rule, I try to make each "path" let's say at least an hour long with normal reading speed.)
I am trying HARD to finish it this month. All of my efforts the last two weeks have been about preparing to free up time and this is just as much about 0.6 and 0.5 now, as I am determined to go very fast on 0.6 this time around. There is no way I am going to find myself in this situation again as I don't think the business can exponentially jump that quickly again, there is a law of diminishing returns at some point with growth. I can't control certain outside time crunches, but I can control effort, and I assure you all that I am trying very hard!
Last few 0.5 Notes: A primary narrative driver (a key Alexander's Karlsson motivation for everything) will be revealed this update, and this is a long-term impact on the overall game. There is also at least one (not going to say anything else on it) "can't turn back" decision that actually impacts the very end of the game. This is very rare before 0.8, but at least one does exist for this update.
I will continue more updates, but for now, I appreciate everyone and enjoy the free month for August!

Don't get me wrong, game is amazing story wise and the renders are great, but sub stuff is not my thing (I know I miss half of the game tho)
Precisely how I'm proceeding with this game. It makes sense to enjoy and engage with the content that appeals to you rather than get stuck in the "must see everything" mentality that sometimes happens with visual novels generally.

the sick brother plotline completly fucking ruins the game for me im ok with my protag being destroyed but not someone who is fucking dying it literally is to distracting to be aroused to it just seems like edgy garbage what is the point of involving family anyway can you protag submit to his sister ? why bring in the third sibling then ? will your choices lead to a teenagers fucking death ?

The brother was dying only weeks to live.He has been cured now and has been given a chance (hard) to do well,if he is tough enough.

It's not about the kink but the story. It's yet another indication of how depraved the Karlsson Group actually is. I'm sorry for your loss. If the game offends you, maybe stop playing? "Just because you're offended doesn't mean you're right."

This is pure speculation on my part but this might have to do with giving a dying person hope, only to take it away by making him realize the life he has been granted is far worse than any death he could have.

I really hope that isn't the case though. I really hope there is a better outcome for the brother than can be chosen through the players actions. Because otherwise it is beyond messed up. As in genuinely psychopathic. And in such a case criticizing it is, in my opinion, not kink shaming.

However, as a user above points out, quitting the game is an obvious option. Certainly if it happens the way I've narrated it, that's what I'd do. I can only suggest you do the same should it be played out that way.
